Dear mentors,

I intend to deal with the RC bug #506805 with a QA upload for package xml2.

According to descriptions in Bug #754418 [1], xml2 upstream is dead but we have a newer release tarball somewhere around the Internet. I picked the tarball from Fedora project and have it packaged. Changes have been reviewed by me and no problems were found (only fixes). Anyone interested can review changes in the packaging repository [2].

Upstream import commit ID: 7cf024c51b18c48f85b764902aa6e2dd66eeac9d

P.S. I intend to do some stable uploads as well later.

• Package name : xml2 Version : 0.5-1
• URL : [defunct]
• License : GPLv2 Section : utils

It builds those binary packages:

xml2  - Convert between XML, HTML, CSV and a line-oriented format
